'node-gyp rebuild' fails when attempting to rebuild autocomplete-latex

[ExecutorElassus]

autocomplete-latex 0.9.0 apparently contains native modules that were compiled for an earlier version of Atom than mine (1.29.0-beta2), but rebuild fails with the following (this is the partial log from atom's internal console output):

/usr/share/atom/resources/app/apm/node_modules/npm/bin/node-gyp-bin/node-gyp: line 5: /usr/share/atom/resources/app/apm/bin/../node_modules/.bin/node-gyp: Permission denied

That first line suggests something's wrong with my permissions, but I'm not sure how to debug.

Thanks for the help.

Update: when I tried to install the autocomplete-latex package on atom as root, I got the following:

That might give you some more information on what's going wrong. The file npm-debug.log does not exist in that subdirectory, nor anywhere else I can find it.

Thanks again.

@ExecutorElassus Sorry about that; I'll look into it.

@ExecutorElassus I tried installing on an Ubuntu VM from scratch, and initially it failed completely. Turns out I needed to install build tools. When I did this, it managed to install fine. However, Atom-beta showed a deprecation-cop warning that prompted me to rebuild the package. This worked, and I could autocomplete.

I haven't worked out why it's not building the correct version yet; autocomplete-latex itself does not come with any compiled files, but it depends on first-mate which seems to open a whole can of worms.

Edit: It seems to work now if you have the build tools installed before hand. I'm not sure if it's something I did, but let me know if the above doesn't help with the issue. I'll need to update the repo to explain the dependencies.

Hi @Aerijo,

I've run into this problem again, now with atom-1.32.0_beta3. Same initial error, same failure when attempting to rebuild the package.

I did a bit of digging on node-gyp, however, and found this:

/usr/share/atom/resources/app/apm/node_modules/npm/node_modules/npm-lifecycle/node-gyp-bin # ls
node-gyp  node-gyp.cmd
domo-kun /usr/share/atom/resources/app/apm/node_modules/npm/node_modules/npm-lifecycle/node-gyp-bin # ./node-gyp rebuild
bash: ./node-gyp: Permission denied
domo-kun /usr/share/atom/resources/app/apm/node_modules/npm/node_modules/npm-lifecycle/node-gyp-bin # ls -l *
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 172 12. Okt 15:17 node-gyp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 148 12. Okt 15:17 node-gyp.cmd

Which strongly implies that node-gyp needs to be set executable, and that maybe this is the problem?

Am I reading this right?

Cheers,

EE
